1. Monster Jam's trucks are mostly one in the same, barring some differences to fit a certain body and those are often interchangeable.
2. Most monster jam chassis don't last long due to the unreal abuse they take and may only last 4 or 5 years (rough estimate, someone could probably answer better) however some independent teams do still run very old chassis dating back to the 90's though they're not completely original and have been modified or rebuilt since. There are also "clones" which is a new, original build that replicates or is based around an older design.
3. To my knowledge no. Unless an independent team uses a former bigfoot chassis.
4. Unfortunately yes
5. A good few of the legends still run but many have retired or passed the reigns on to a new owner or family member. Paul Shafer owns several legendary names (bearfoot, rampage, Carolina Crusher, and monster patrol to name a few) and used to organize tours with them. He is now more or less in retirement now and his trucks gather dust. He will lease the names and identities he owns out to teams though. The rest have simply faded into memory...
Hope that helps and I can't guarantee my information is accurate so anyone who knows better please chime in. Welcome to mayhem!

Mark Wahlberg to star in Transformers 4?
Michael Bay is considering signing Mark Wahlberg up for 'Transformers 4'.
The 47-year-old director - who helmed the first three films in the franchise - previously dismissed speculation the 'Ted' star is going to be in the forthcoming movie but the filmmaker has now hinted the 41-year-old star could appear in the motion picture after rumours presented him with the idea to cast Mark.
In a post on his personal website, Michael wrote: ''I squashed a rumor that was on the internet last week. It was about Mark Walhberg. Mark was rumored to be staring in Transformers 4. We are working on another movie together, not T4.
''I had such a great time working with Mark on 'Pain and Gain', and he gave such a great performance - well let's say that very internet chatter gave me some ideas. We are at the inception of our story process right now on T4. Let's say some ideas are gaining traction with me and my writer - so I'm here to say thanks internet chatter.''
Shia LaBeouf starred in the first three movies in the franchise and while there was recent speculation he had been offered $18 million to reprise his role of Sam Witwicky for a fourth time, his representatives have since denied such claims.
Despite originally saying he didn't want to helm a fourth 'Transformers' movie, Michael recently admitted he decided to do the film because he didn't want anyone else to ''screw it up'', and he was impressed with 'Transformers' rollercoaster ride at Universal Studios when it opened in Hollywood in May.
He explained: ''I thought I was done. Then the ride came out and the two-and-a-half-hour lines. And then you're thinking, 'Oh my God, someone's going to take this over.' And you start doing a lot of soul-searching.''
'Transformers 4' is slated for a June 2014 release.

McMinnville man killed in Highway 18 crash
10-year-old girl injured
A 30-year-old McMinnville man was killed about 9:40 p.m. Tuesday in a two-vehicle crash about two miles east of McMinnville on Highway 18 near its intersection with Lafayette Highway.
Sgt. Brad Hessel of the Oregon State Police McMinnville office identified the victim as Charles Salinas of 1834 N.W. Wallace Road. Hessel gave this account:
Salinas was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier westbound when, for an unknown reason, it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a 2005 Freightliner tractor pulling two trailers and driven by Dale Boekhoff, 44, of 517 N.W. Blair St., Sheridan. He was driving for CRC Transport Inc. of Salem.
A passenger in the car, Araceli Salinas, 10, of the Wallace Road address, sustained serious injuries and was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Willamette Valley Medical Center. She was reported in stable condition this morning.
Boekhoff was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he was treated and released.
It's unknown if either of the Chevrolet's occupants were wearing seat belts. Boekhoff was not belted in.
The tractor-trailer's fuel tanks both leaked diesel fuel, requiring cleanup coordinated by the Oregon Department of Transportation and Northwest Firefighters HazMat personnel.
Highway 18 was reopened in both directions about 4:45 this morning, following the investigation and cleanup of the scene.
OSP was assisted at the scene by the McMinnville Police Department and Yamhill County Sheriff's Office.

Opioid-Induced Androgen Deficiency (OPIAD)
– Source: Pain Physician, Jul 2012
By Howard S Smith, MD, Jennifer A Elliott, MD
[Note: The free full text of this article is available HERE.]
Opioid therapy is one of the most effective forms of analgesia currently in use. In the past few decades, the use of opioids as a long-term treatment for chronic pain has increased dramatically.
Accompanying this upsurge in the use of long-term opioid therapy has been an increase in the occurrence of opioid associated endocrinopathy, most commonly manifested as an androgen deficiency and therefore referred to as opioid associated androgen deficiency (OPIAD).
This syndrome is characterized by the presence of inappropriately low levels of gonadotropins (follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone) leading to inadequate production of sex hormones, particularly testosterone.
Symptoms that may manifest in patients with OPIAD include reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, hot flashes, and depression.
Physical findings may include:
• Reduced facial and body hair,
• Anemia,
• Decreased muscle mass,
• Weight gain
• And osteopenia or osteoporosis.
Additionally, both men and women with OPIAD may suffer from infertility.
While the literature regarding OPIAD remains limited, it is apparent that OPIAD is becoming increasingly prevalent among chronic opioid consumers but often goes unrecognized.
OPIAD can have a significant negative impact on the quality of life of opioid users, and clinicians should anticipate the potential for its occurrence whenever long-term opioid prescribing is undertaken.
Once diagnosed, treatment for OPIAD may be offered utilizing a number of androgen replacement therapy options including:
• A variety of testosterone preparations,
• And, for female patients with OPIAD, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) supplementation.
Follow-up evaluation of patients receiving androgen replacement therapy should include a review of any unresolved symptoms of hypogonadism, laboratory evaluation, and surveillance for potential adverse effects of androgen replacement therapy including prostate disease in males.

I am involved in several of the extra-curricular intra-mural sports. I lift weights. I am involved in the Christian Club. I've gone to a play on campus. I love playing pool with my floor buddies.
Food and Dining
Food and I have always gotten along well together. They have a good selection of food at reasonable prices.
Dorm Life
I am on a wonderful floor of guys! We have a ton of fun together.
Academic Rigor
I have to take time to do my studying, but all the teachers are very cooperative to help when I need it.
Tips for prospective students
Visit campus to experience what it is like. Check out the school website for tons of photos and information. Be ready to have fun and get involved.

There are many activities at the Great Falls campus to get involved.
Food and Dining
The food at the SUB is good and the staff are awesome.
Dorm Life
Great Falls has no dorms.
Academic Rigor
The classes are not easy, but very informative. I have taken two credit classes that are more work and harder than some of the three credit classes. In Education you have to fill out something called The Pact Handbook, it is long and to me a waste of time. This should be a class in itself and is just a Northern thing. You have to jump through many hoops in this program.
Tips for prospective students
The communication between the Havre campus and the Great Falls campus is not the best. I have gone through three different advisors since starting my classes. It has been difficult for not only the students, but also the Advisor themselves. Keep a copy of all paper work sent to Northern, with the date you sent it. They have a habit of losing paperwork. If you speak to someone document that also.

I am a Distant Learning student on the MSU Great Falls campus. The professors are knowledgeable, kind, and willing to help you. Overall, the experience has been good not great.

Clubs and Activities
There is one fraternity and they offer several things through out the school year
Bang for the buck
Northern is one of the cheaper Montana schools. I really feel like my money is well spent here.
What to do for fun
The school has a bowling alley on campus. There is also a bowling alley here in Havre that is open to the public and there is a movie theater. Its a great place for people who enjoy the outdoors (Camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, ect.) My Favorite thing of all though is, The Northern Ball which is held every spring semester
Food and Dining
I have eaten in the sub on occasion. The food is good and fairly priced
Dorm Life
I have not lived in the dorms so I cannot comment in this area
Academic Rigor
Classes can be hard depending on what your taking and how many credits you have for the semester. However, the instructors here are very helpful and very thorough. I think that they do want us as students to succeed.
Tips for prospective students

Greek Life
Clubs and Activities
Lacking clubs
Great for these types of students
Diesel Techs mainly then scientists and nurses.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Hilly, and quite some distance from the dorm to classes. You should leave 10-15 minutes early to get to class on time. Most professors will dock you if you're late.
Bang for the buck
It is cheaper than the main campus but the school is much smaller overall. Not many fields but this is going to change over time. The new chancellor will be getting this school into the 21 century. This school was acquired by Montana State University, It was originally Northern Montana College.
What to do for fun
Bowl, billiards, talking to my friends, hanging out in my wing.
Food and Dining
It is like we was in high school, the food is not terrible just not very much of a selection unlike the main campus where you have 3 dining halls and 2 choices.
Dorm Life
Dorm life is good, but the dorms are old. Now they are in the processes of being remodeled.
Academic Rigor
I had 2 difficult classes but I did well with them. The professors are flexible if you communicate with them, and the Student Success is there to help you with classes you are
Tips for prospective students
If you are going to pursue Computer Science then you are better off going to Bozeman. Otherwise if you go there and transfer you will have about 40 credits of catch up classes to get the graduating requirements to enter into graduation school to pursue the Masters/Doctrine. The diesel tech is excellent however the nursing school is lacking according to other students who I talked to. This school will be better now they got a chancellor who will turn this school around like he did to prior schools he led.
In three sentences
It is in the middle of changes that will make this school better for students to attend. I enjoyed what I learned and one of my professors made his class both challenging and fun. Dr. Puisto proved to me that I can handle difficult classes and I give this school 4 of 5 starts.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jennifer Lopez would not have performed a private concert in Turkmenistan at the weekend had she known about charges of human rights violations in the Central Asian nation, her publicist said on Monday.
Human rights campaigners, who accuse Turkmenistan's government of restricting free speech and jailing political opponents, criticized Lopez for performing at the concert attended by Turkmen President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov on Saturday.
The 43-year-old singer came under particular scrutiny after singing "Happy Birthday" to Berdymukhamedov at the event, which was put on for local executives of the China National Petroleum Corp in the resource-rich desert nation.
"The event was vetted by her representatives, had there been knowledge of human-right issues of any kind, Jennifer would not have attended," Lopez's publicist Mark Young said in a statement.
"This was not a government sponsored event or political in nature," the statement added.
Rachel Denber, deputy director for Europe and Central Asia at Human Rights Watch, commended Lopez for coming clean about the performance but said any sort of vetting on the country should have been easy.
"Just do a few Google clicks to look up their human-rights record," she said. "It's hard to know why they (pop stars) gravitate towards these unsavory leaders. It's worth noting that these leaders want public noticeability and prestige that these celebrities offer."
Young said the birthday song was not in Lopez's contract for the show but the company had made a "last-minute 'birthday greeting' request" which she obliged.
Berdymukhamedov became Turkmenistan's president in 2006 after the death of Saparmurat Niyazov, who took absolute control of the former Soviet republic following independence in 1991.
Berdymukhamedov's regime has been accused by Western states at the United Nations of systemic repression of its 5.5 million people, but the country, which has world's fourth-largest known natural gas reserves, enjoys support from fellow Islamic and Asian nations.
Young said there had not been any discussion of Lopez donating her performance fee to charity. Other pop stars, including Mariah Carey and Beyonce, did donate their fees after coming under fire for performing for the family of former Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi.

Llewellyn Michael Kraus Boelter was born in Winona, Minnesota, on August 7, 1898. He received his early education in Minnesota and in the State of Washington. In 1917 he received the Baccalaureate degree from the College of Mechanics of the University of California at Berkeley. As recipient of the John W. Mackay, Jr., Fellowship in Electrical Engineering he continued his studies and in 1918 was awarded the degree Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.
Dean Boelter began his long career in teaching with his appointment in 1919 as instructor in Electrical Engineering at his alma mater, and his initial interest was directed toward the development of the heat-power laboratory and the upgrading of instruction in the field of internal-combustion engines. In 1923 he was advanced to Assistant Professor of Experimental Engineering in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, in 1927 to Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and in 1934 to a Full Professorship.
The College of Mechanics and later the College of Engineering grew with Professor Boelter. He was active in Departmental and College matters early in his career and rapidly branched out into service on University administrative committees. He was appointed Associate Dean of Engineering at Berkeley in 1943 and was selected to organize the College of Engineering at the University of California at Los Angeles, which was started under his deanship in 1944. In this position he was able to put his theories into practice and establish a Department of Engineering without specialties, imbuing his students with the concept that the several fields of engineering are inseparable from the basic knowledge of the Science of Engineering.
In the field of heat transfer, he gained renown in the 1920's through the well-known Dittus-Boelter equation. Later his laboratory extended to the Agricultural Experiment Station at Davis. In the early 1930's the problem of orchard heating grew to such proportions that the groves of the citrus experiment station in Riverside were included in this study. Boelter's interest in Agricultural Engineering was much broader than orchard heating, however, and in 1944 he accepted the additional appointment of Agricultural Engineer at the Experiment Station at Davis, an assignment which he was to retain in a consulting capacity throughout his life.
The development of his theories of basic engineering education had evoked much attention at universities throughout the United States, and in 1952 he was appointed Visiting Professor at the School of Engineering at Purdue University.
Dean Boelter was a tireless worker and his extracurricular activities were numerous and time-consuming. From 1919 to 1944 he directed the testing agency for the State of California Division of Motor Vehicles, a service primarily interested in the approval of motor vehicle headlights, taillights, and signaling devices. In this capacity he developed ingenious devices for accurate tests of equipment life and performance characteristics. His results and interpretations within the letter of the law were often questioned by industry, but never challenged, and he was soon as prominent in Sacramento and Detroit as he was on the Berkeley campus.
Only a few other highlights of his service on 22 professional, 15 state, 24 national, and numerous municipal committees and bodies can be mentioned. From 1947 to 1960 he was a member of the California State Board of Registration for Civil and Professional Engineers, representing Chemical Engineering. Between 1954 and 1962 he gave distinguished service as member, Vice President, and President of the Los Angeles City Planning Commission. Dean Boelter was a Governor of the Scientific Research Society of America, a founder of the Los Angeles Technical Societies Council, and a Trustee of the California Museum Foundation.
Dean Boelter was honored through the conferral of many awards and distinctions, among them the Lamme Award of the American Society for Engineering Education, the degree of Doctor of Engineering (honorary) by Purdue University, the Gold Medal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Max Jacob Memorial Award of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. His reputation as Dean of Engineering grew nationally and, as he was well known in Washington, D.C., his opinion was actively sought, often on an informal telephone basis.
But it is as a teacher that Dean Boelter reaped his greatest glory in the admiration of his many students. He was revered by those who had the privilege of attending his lectures, which were informal and evoked challenge for further study and research. He inspired his students and confreres to contribute to such diverse fields as heat transfer, fluid mechanics, mass transfer, illumination, instrumentation, thermodynamics, city planning, transportation, nuclear technology, safety, community health, air pollution control, sewage disposal, water resources, prosthetics, biotechnology, engineering design, and engineering education, but his approach always remained the same--to set his students on the quest for excellence, in whatever field they chose to work.
Dean Boelter's own belief in the purpose and goal of education is perhaps best summarized in his welcome to a new freshman class, in which he quoted the words of Benjamin Ide Wheeler: "[Education] proposes to rescue men from slavery and make them free, in case they want to be free. It proposes in the second place to make them free from the bondage of prejudice, routine, and the rule of thumb. A free man is a man who can initiate, who has sufficient control over his walks and ways to do as his reason and outlook tell him is right and best. A man who acts on prejudice, or drives his wagon in any other rut, is a slave, no matter how much he may pride himself on his prejudices and loyal adherences".
Another side of Boelter endeared him to his associates, "We refer to his compassion, his way of treading softly to avoid hurting even those who had fought against his ideas, his willingness to sacrifice himself for the sake of others. These uncommon characteristics must be recorded here for the benefit of those who, less fortunate than we, could not be touched by them directly. We treasure these qualities, for they give life its meaning."
The final honor, for which his students stood in tribute, came when Dean Boelter was awarded the Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, at the 1966 Commencement.
Llewellyn M. K. Boelter died on July 27, 1966, in Los Angeles at the age of 67.

Emil Jensen
Textinformationen kommer från last.fms wiki
Emil Jensen is a Swedish singer-songwriter/poet. He sings in a broad southern accent of Swedish (skånska), accompanied by mostly accoustic instruments such as guitar and piano on his two earlier records, and a greater variety of electronic tunes on his latest record ("Orka då", 2006).
His characteristic live shows consists of equal parts stand up comedy, poetry slam - Emil has won the Swedish poetry slam championship twice, and reached the fourth place in the world championship in Rotterdam - and music. The songs are usually simplified versions, allowing Emil to perform them alone, accompanying himself on the piano. On the studio albums, however, he is assisted by Marcus Cato from his former band "Mållgan". Read more on Last....

text: Go Out And Vote!!! Tweet For me, this is the most important election of my life. Therefore, this is probably one of the most important posts I've ever made on this site. And hey, it's not even Chuck Palahniuk related. Today is Election Day. This was the longest election campaign in our history, and its impact and consequences on the country can be huge. Simply put, it's a monumental occasion. So all of you need to go out and cast your ballot today. Go vote! I won't lie, I'm voting for Barack Obama. I've been a supporter of his since I first read about him over a year ago. I've even donated to his campaign. This isn't about Obama though. It's not about McCain. It's about you. So don't waste the opportunity this country has given you. Here is a link with voting information. Here is an easy way to find your closest polling station. (it links to Barack's page, but that's only because they made it so easy to figure out) Finally, I want to include a video that you should all watch. Yes, it's lame, but it's about the big concern that there may be a lot of voter suppression going on today. This video will warn you of the underhanded tactics some political operatives may use to try and steal the election. It gives tips on how you can avoid problems at the polls. That's it! If you'd like, you can share you experiences at the booths in this thread. I'd love to hear people's recollections of the day.

Searching for meaning in the GoogleTwitter world
Say Google buys Twitter. It was always something that made sense, and now it's gone from "what if" to rumor to late stage negotiations in less than a day. Let's assume it happens and take a peek into what it means for marketers.
Search: Twitter will not become Googleized. With its YouTube acquisition Google showed itself to be a good integrator of other companies. However, it makes sense that Google will clean up the Twitter interface to be more friendly to contextual ads, people search, and keyword search. Twitter will also become more trackable on its own, as well as within Google. And marketers will be intrigued at the possibilities just at the time that search was topping out.
Signals split for online video
Just as the industry is getting used to the terms and conditions of "online video" it's time to split it up. Online video is headed for three distinct executions: online spots, email video, and online programming.
The evidence for this comes from several sources, most notably Goodmail's CertifiedVideo, which bowed this week. CertifiedVideo jumped the gate with AOL and Yahoo aboard and many entertainment brands carrying promotions as part of their email campaigns. It also became apparent at the ARF conference this week, that online video needs to be more closely defined.
Q&A: Coldwell Banker bets the rent
As one of the biggest real estate companies in the country, Coldwell Banker is in a tough spot when it comes to media. It has to drive leads for its brokers. It has to make consumers aware that it has the stability to get through a huge market downturn. Last week it announced a major online and offline media campaign aimed at doing both. In terms of spending it's split down the middle and we talked to Senior Marketing Vice President Mike Fischer about its positioning.
Century 21, which is perhaps your biggest competitor, announced it was moving 100 percent of its spending online. Why not follow that?
I believe in balance. There's a cost for everything and I think in order for us to take care of our brokers and our consumers we need to make sure we have a balanced approach. We'll probably spend 40 percent of our budget online. I think that's a pretty good place to be.
How to keep the ecommerce momentum
Neuromarketing. Neurometrics. In-store shopper insights. There's a lot to like about the bleeding edge of ecommerce these days, but the cold reality is this: it's time for basic internet marketing block-and-tackling strategies.
So many observers and front-line retailers are truly excited about this period of time that it is completely forgivable to race ahead with technology. Research about how consumers perceive and then buy that's coming to the fore from people like Paco Underhill is compelling, and new customer behavior data from companies like Nielsen and Microsoft is brilliant. All the in-store technology that will blend the in-store experience with the online experience needs to be quickly adopted. But let's face it. The bankruptcies and inconsistent discounts happening offline are creating a unique opportunity online. We see four very predictable ways to take advantage:
Revising the downturn, again
Growth forecasts for 2009 continue to be revised. Emarketer, following on the heels of the IAB's tentative outlook on 2009, has taken its internet ad spend projection down to 4.5 percent. It predicted an 8.9 percent bump last December.
And like the IAB, eMarketer analysts are hailing the projection as a good achievement in a terrible economy. That's for internet spending. On a global, multimedia level today WPP's GroupM revised U.S. spending this year to fall by 4.3 percent in 2009 to approximately $155 billion (versus the 3 percent drop predicted in December) and drop another 6.8 percent to about $144.5 billion next year.
Fixing the broken mobile ad platform
The mobile ad platform is fragmented, lacks customer data, and needs standards. That's some of the thinking produced by the blogosphere and recent conferences. Whether mobile marketing is really in such disarray is debatable. It has, after all, attracted most major brands and will rate its own category in the next round of IAB quarterly measurements. But for the "broken" side of the mobile debate, two developments may address some concerns.
Both are technology driven, which is important as mobile finds its legs with advertisers. The first announcement: AOL and Platform-A will make a "device-agnostic" rich media mobile ad format available through Third Screen Media, Platform-A's mobile ad-serving platform and network. That means rich media can run on iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Palm and Symbian handsets. It's a clear indication that AOL will make rich media ads a priority and make them easy to buy. One complaint from the "broken" side of the debate is that marketers have to choose one device over another for campaign creation and planning. If the AOL solution works, that argument is a long way toward over.
Time to revisit social media sponsorship
Sponsorship and internet marketing are proving to be a tough couple. But they need immediate attention and innovation if brands have a shot at finding an effective presence on social media networks.
Two recent datapoints illustrate the issue. Yesterday's IAB report of 2008's ad results showed a 40 percent drop in sponsorships online. That is a shocking plunge for a business that tracked a 10 percent overall increase. And IDCs report on social media advertising delivered last week showed sponsorships may be the only form of advertising social network users will tolerate. "Tolerate" is the operative word here. They will not tolerate any kind of traditional display approach.
Case Study: GardenCentre builds its own ecosystem
An ecommerce site needs a healthy environment in which to flourish, especially in today's competitive hothouse. At GardenCentreUK.com, that environment is decidedly home grown. The company has achieved 100 percent sales growth over the past year largely through its own ecosystem created through affiliate marketing.
"With so many competitors we felt as though a strong affiliate network was the best way to keep our business growing," says Peter Howarth, GardenCentre general manager. "I'd say our affiliate network makes up about 15 or 20 percent of our revenue."
The GardenCentre plan actually runs against current trends. A 2008 Econsultancy report shows that the proportion of merchants saying that affiliate marketing drives high volume has decreased from 26 percent in 2007 to 15 percent in 2008. The average proportion of online sales credited to affiliate activity has decreased from 16 percent to 12 percent over the same time period.
Q&A: Zales finds diamonds online
For most cross-channel retailers 2008 was a financial disaster, and surviving to discuss 2009 is an achievement. No different at Zales Jewelers. The mall and outlet center-based retailer closed more than 100 stores and took an 18 percent hit in 2008. But one of the bright spots has been its ecommerce operation. As SVP Steve Larkin says we "do a lot of stuff" online that doesn't get as much publicity as the collapse of the high-end jewelry market. We talked to Larkin after the company announced that its revenues for January and February had stabilized for 2009.
We've heard a lot lately about the saving power of ecommerce as offline retail struggles and the economy starts to crawl back. Zales has certainly had its offline problems, and I'm interested to know your macro view of retailing right now.
Ecommerce is better than traditional retailing. And that comes from advances in just about everything that has to do with online retail. We're constantly improving the customer experience and constantly improving customer service. I also think we provide a lot of value online for the customer. They can comparison shop, they can research products, and they can get best price. We will continue to invest in ecommerce and continue to cross-promote our online store through our offline stores.
IAB stats show surprises and uncertainty
The IAB presented its statistical and philosophical take on 2008 today, and while it tracked some surprising growth numbers it left more than a few questions unanswered for the balance of 2009.
The important numbers: total US internet advertising growth topped 10.6 percent in 2009 when offline media dropped 2.4 percent. The industry crossed the $6 billion plateau for the first time during the fourth quarter of last year, but it came on the heels of the lowest sequential quarter-to-quarter growth rate since 2002. Search was up 10.5 percent over 2007 and the much-maligned category of display ads bounced 8 percent. However, display ads contracted 4 percent in the fourth quarter.
Screw it. Let's read the paper
A friend of mine was recently hired as the ad director for a mid-market newspaper, owned by the Tribune Company. After he was there about a month I asked him, "so how do you plan on selling ads for a dying media?"
"For starters," he said, "I do something absolutely no one in that office does. Every morning I read the newspaper. Cover-to-cover."
Brands seek order in media chaos
No secret that performance-based advertising is dominating internet marketing. But brands are still trying to find the right mix for all those performance options, email, and a rapidly declining display market.
According to IDC research analyst Caroline Dangson, the display market contracted by 7 percent in Q4 of 2008, and will continue to see decreased spending until the end of this year. With this in mind, several brands are trying to find some balance for all the advertising options available.

The work they are doing is so important for the future of our global community. We are just proud to help support their outstanding efforts.
San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) May 09, 2014
Ultimate Peace (UP) was established by founders Dr. David Barkan, Linda Sidorsky, and Dori Yaniv in the spring of 2008. UP brings together youth from Palestinian, Arab Israeli, and Israeli Jewish communities to learn, play, and unite around the character building sport of Ultimate Frisbee. With a focus on teamwork, personal responsibility, and leadership, the sport of Ultimate is used to bring together youth who would otherwise never meet due to the regional conflict. The goal of UP is that participating youth from diverse social and cultural backgrounds around the world will build new understandings, share meaningful experiences, and develop lasting relationships. Based on this exposure and these connections, they will work collaboratively to bring about sustainable social change as the next generation of peace–building citizens.
The Ultimate Peace Middle East programs began in 2009 with small events in Tel Aviv. Organizers wanted to use the sport as a tool to unite youth. Now, as a multicultural organization, Ultimate Peace Middle East runs year-round programs across more than a dozen communities. They hold weekly practices, monthly Coach-in-Training meetings, quarterly tournaments, and an annual camp – all in Hebrew, Arabic, and English.
"We were eager to get involved last year when we first learned about Ultimate Peace and we will continue to support them again this year as their program grows," said US Sports Camps CEO Charlie Hoeveler. "The work they are doing is so important for the future of our global community. We are just proud to help support their outstanding efforts."
In Camp Ultimate Peace's 5th summer season, the Ultimate Peace overnight camp will host over 280 youth from 14 Arab, Jewish, and Palestinian communities in the Middle East. For two 5-day sessions, UP campers live, learn and play in a spacious, safe, & serene setting in Acco, Israel and kids get to know one another, share positive experiences, and learn new ways to interact.

Computerized Investing's Best of the Web
CI editors list and review the best investment and financial websites.
Welcome to Computerized Investing's "Best of the Web." Here we have brought together what we consider to be the "best of the best" when it comes to online investment analysis, research and tracking. These are the sites that we editors and staff of CI use ourselves, almost on a daily basis.
The Internet has grown into an invaluable tool for investors, but for every quality website, there are dozens (if not more) that are only marginally useful. Here we provide you with the best online resources for data and analytical tools to help you make informed investment decisions. Beyond looking for sites that offer useful information, we try to find those that are easy to use and do not swamp you with ads. Whenever possible, we seek out websites that are free, though when subscription fees are charged, we clearly tell you. (Keep in mind that many websites offer both free and subscription-based content.)
Our primary criterion for analyzing a website is to consider whether it offers value for its visitors. There are a large number of websites with well-designed pages and lots of content, but that possess little that is unique enough to make them stand out from their peers. We pay a lot of attention to the quality of content and whether it is credible or not.
Our "Best of the Web" segment is broken down into several categories based on the kind of information you are looking for or the type of analysis you want to perform. Periodically we will be adding new categories and updating our featured sites as new offerings become available or sites change their content.
Within each category you will find that we have highlighted only a few sites. Instead of trying to be a "comprehensive" listing of financial websites, we focus on those quality few sites. In addition, in each category we crown one site our "Editors' Choice" pick as the one that stands above all the rest. Computerized Investing awards its Editors' Choice rating to sites that provide investment information or service that, in our view, is both useful and substantial to individual investors and available either for free or offer unique data, analytics or tools at a reasonable price.
Keep in mind that the Web is constantly evolving. Sites can change drastically in a short period of time. Be sure to verify the source of information or provider of a service. And read the fine print on pricing before agreeing to pay for any data or investment service.
Lastly, please remember that these selections are based on our opinions. We always welcome your input and suggestions. If there is a site that you use that you think deserves mention by Computerized Investing, send it to us.

College Football: It's all good for Salem's FedrickBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 22. 2017 10:07PM
DURHAM — So far, August has treated University of New Hampshire running back Jerickson Fedrick well.
His spirits were lifted following UNH's Aug. 15 practice, when UNH head coach Sean McDonnell informed Fedrick that he had earned a full scholarship. Fedrick, a Salem resident who spent two years at the University of Maine before transferring to UNH, is entering his senior season with the Wildcats.
"Last Tuesday I think I had a decent practice," Fedrick said. "My parents were here and he (McDonnell) walked over and gave us the good news, so I was really excited about that. I was kind of star-struck. I didn't know how to react."
Fedrick was also among the standouts in UNH's Blue/White scrimmage Tuesday afternoon. He rushed for a game-high 67 yards on six carries and also caught a 19-yard pass as Team 'Cats defeated Team Wild 24-17.
Fedrick rushed for 4,568 yards and scored 75 touchdowns during his four seasons at Salem High School. He's been battling for playing time with running backs Evan Gray, DeUnte Chatman and Donald Goodrich.
Treyvon Bryant, UNH's projected starter at running back, suffered a season-ending knee injury during spring practice.
"In a perfect world we'll all do well," Fedrick said. "I guess it's just depending on the day and how the coaches feel. Just how they want to attack the other team."
Gray rushed for 20 yards on four carries and caught two passes for 34 yards in the scrimmage; Chatman gained 23 yards on six carries and caught a 10-yard pass; and Goodrich picked up 21 yards on four attempts and had one reception for 3 yards.
McDonnell said nothing stood out to him from Tuesday's scrimmage other than how the running backs performed.
"I think we have four really good running backs who can play for us," McDonnell said. "I think it's going to be by committee. You look at all of them (and) they do things well. I was very pleased with the way Jerickson Fedrick ran today. We have guys who I think can play for us. It's a good problem to have."
Fedrick sat out the 2015 season per NCAA rules after transferring from Maine, and appeared in six of UNH's 13 games last season. His rushing total Tuesday included a 52-yard TD run.
UNH's other scoring plays were a 53-yard pass from wide receiver Neil O'Connor to wide receiver Malik Love; a 4-yard run by quarterback Will Pollard,; Gray's 20-yard TD reception from quarterback Trevor Knight; O'Connor's 14-yard reception from Knight; and field goals by Max Pedinoff (27 yards) and Hayden Middleton (26 yards).
"It's hard to say you're upset about being productive, but I can always do better," Fedrick said. "Obviously you can't be satisfied as a player. You have to go out and do more every day. That's how I want to approach things."
- - - - - - - - -
Pollard, who played at Kennett High School in Conway, completed 5 of 11 passes for 99 yards. He also rushed for 24 yards on four carries. He was one of four quarterbacks who played in the scrimmage. Knight, an Amherst resident, completed 13 of 23 passes for 175 yards and two TDs; Ivan Niyomugabo, who played at Merrimack Valley in Penacook, completed 2 of 5 passes for 11 yards and was intercepted once; and Christian Lupoli tossed 6 completions in 11 attempts for 53 yards. … McDonnell said Bedford's Michael Vailas, a wide receiver, will see time on special teams this season. Vailas transferred to UNH after playing lacrosse at Bryant University. … UNH will open the season at home on Thursday, Aug. 31 against Maine.

Shared goods and services, such as Zipcar and New Balance Hubway, are gaining popularity as sustainable alternatives to ownership. However, a new study by Sawyer Business School Professor Giana Eckhardt and Northeastern Professor Fleura Bardhi questions the common belief that collaborative consumption is altruistically motivated.
Their study, which will appear in the December issue of the Journal of Consumer Research, suggests that consumers may not always take the best care of their loaned objects because they do not feel a psychological sense of ownership.
Eckhardt and Bardhi interviewed and rode along with 40 Zipcar users to gain a firsthand understanding of how consumers share the cars.
"Our study represents the first look at how consumers think, feel, and act when they are accessing rather than purchasing products, and we discovered that the nature of access-based consumption is inherently different from ownership," the authors wrote.
Although Zipcar is trying to build a community brand, the findings suggest that consumers prioritize self-interest over community. The study participants did not experience a sense of shared ownership and did not feel connected to each other. Consumers consider Zipcar to be the enforcer of rules rather than the facilitator of a community.
"Zipcar uses a strict style of governance to maintain compliance with the rules of car sharing to make sure cars aren't brought back late, the gas tank is filled, etc. Consumers like and even want more of this surveillance, as they feel it is the only way the system can work effectively, since they don't trust each other to obey the rules without Zipcar's heavy handed enforcement," the authors wrote.
The consumers' lack of trust and their perception of Zipcar as an enforcer lead them to engage with the brand solely as a service provider, the authors concluded. "Our study challenges the romanticized view of access understood as a form of collaborative consumption and altruistically motivated. Instead, we show it to be the reverse, with everyone looking out for their own best interest and not connecting to the objects they are accessing, other consumers, or the company," the authors wrote.
Eckhardt, a marketing consumer behavior expert, is the co-author of the 2010 book: The Myth of the Ethical Consumer. She has presented her work globally, including at the United Nations Corporate Social Responsibility Global Forum. She has also worked closely with companies such as McKinsey and Dunkin' Brands, and her work has been featured in The Economist, Euromonitor, Asiaweek, and on National Public Radio.

The U.S. Education and the Workforce Committee, chaired by Rep. John Kline (R-MN), will hold a hearing entitled, "Raising the Bar: The Role of Charter Schools in K-12 Education." The hearing will take place at 10:00 am on Wednesday, March 12th in room 2175 of the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C.
Charter schools encompass two key principles American families want from our nation's education system: choice and flexibility. These institutions empower parents to play a more active role in their child's education, open doors for teachers to pioneer fresh teaching methods, encourage state and local innovation, and help students escape under-performing schools.
Wednesday's hearing will provide members an opportunity to discuss the benefits of the successful charter school model while also exploring opportunities to improve charter school quality and expand access to this valuable school choice option. To watch a LIVE WEBCAST of the hearing, click here.

Team Wins Narrow Race
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Bulldogs took back the trophy at their annual Harvard-Yale dual meet, defeating Harvard at home by 10 points. Battling the unusual fall humidity, they carried out the race plan that head coach Dan Ireland had given them before the meet.
"I told our guys that we would beat them in the last five minutes in the race," Ireland said.
At the four-mile marker, the Crimson was still winning the race, running in first, second and third positions. Senior Jeff Perrella then passed the Crimson's second and third runners to cross the line first for the Bulldogs in second place overall (25:35.53). The pair of sophomore Julian Sheinbaum and junior Sam Lynch returned their impressive performances from their last meet by passing the Crimson's runners with only 400 meters to go and finished second (25:39.45) and third (25:40.30), respectively. Junior Conor Dooney led the next pack of Bulldogs to place seventh (25:57.52), followed by senior captain Max Walden in eighth (26:02.92) and sophomore Nathan Richards in ninth (26:07.67). Freshman Blake Hofmeister also had an impressive race as the Bulldogs' seventh runner in 11th place overall (26:19.04).
The Bulldogs finished the meet with 34 points. The Crimson's Daniel Chenoweth, the Ivy League Heptagonals champion from last season, won the individual title in 25:10.70, setting a new meet record.
The Bulldogs' victory over their long-standing rival sets them on a good foot for the rest of the season.
"It's still really early in the season but to get this win in is good for them," Ireland said.
The Bulldogs will take next weekend off from competition to train for the New England Championships on Oct. 9.

Talihina wrestlers place at Okmulgee Tournament
OKMULGEE — Five Talihina High School wrestlers placed in last week's Okmulgee Tournament.Jasper Humphreys (106 pounds) and Andrew Young (160) were runners-up.Derek Lester was fourth at 113 pounds, while Dylan Chancellor (195 pounds) and Jed Martin (heavyweight) were fifth."It was a lot better outing," Talihina Coach Jon Bradberry said. "Against Poteau, I think we were a little intimidated by them. They wrestled really well. In fact, there were two state qualifiers in the heavyweight division in which Jed wrestled. We're working hard, and we got the most out of our wrestlers this past weekend."The Golden Tigers will be off until after the Christmas Break when they will participate in the McAlester Tournament Jan. 6-7, 2012.
